Pickup buyers are looking for stump-pulling torque, so GM equipped the Silverado with the same V-8 found in its conventional trucks and opted for "mild" hybrid technology - dubbed mybrid - that uses a modest-size, low-power battery pack, delivering a meager 10 to 15 percent increase in gas mileage and no electric-only mode.
